Chapter 141: Ash vs Kekebu'er

Completed the transmission,

Kekebu'er took a deep breath, and their expression suddenly became extremely solemn.

"Let's go, Overbearing Panda!"

On the viewing stand, Keerni's smile gradually faded, her eyes showing reminiscence.

"Such a serious grandfather, I really haven't seen him in years!"

"Ah, several years?"

"That's because... grandfather hasn't faced a truly equal or stronger opponent in years."

Keerni cleared up the doubts of the crowd.

【Pokémon】: Overbearing Panda (♂)

【Type】: Fighting+Dark

【Ability】: Iron Fist (Power of punching moves increased by 20%)

【Level】: 82

【Individual】: HP 31, Attack 31, Defense 30, Sp. Atk 9, Sp. Def 5, Speed 10,

【Base Stats】: Total 495, HP 95, Attack 124, Defense 78, Sp. Atk 69, Sp. Def 71, Speed 58,

Ash, who had been worried about his Level 70 Feiluomeilang lagging behind in level,

Seeing Kekebu'er's first sent-out Pokémon, he couldn't help but sigh in relief.

The Overbearing Panda in front had a high level and excellent attack and defense, but it had an obvious flaw.

Slow speed, and its Sp. Def IV is very low.

Coincidentally, the Feiluomeilang's greatest advantage is its high speed and excellent dual attack,

"Alright, you're the one, Feiluomeilang!"

As Ash sent out Feiluomeilang, a glint of sharpness flashed in Kekebu'er's eyes.

These days, Kekebu'er has been closely observing Keerni's Feiluomeilang.

Naturally, they know how terrifying this Pokémon is in attack.

But,

Even a pseudo-legendary would struggle to excel in all areas, given that the Feiluomeilang's attack performance already surpasses that of same-tier pseudo-legendaries,

then its defense is bound to be weak.

This is the best path to victory.

The challenger attacks first!

"Butterfly Dance!"

As Ash's words fell, Feiluomeilang sprang into action, its milky-white figure, like one wearing a wedding dress, gracefully dancing.

Can't let it be so comfortable.

"Taunt!"

The Overbearing Panda tilted its head, first giving a disdainful glance at the posing Feiluomeilang, then turned around and wiggled its rear.

Directly igniting Feiluomeilang's anger, it stopped the Butterfly Dance.

Being able to suppress its anger and not rush over to kick the Overbearing Panda's rear is all due to its good obedience.

Failed?

Ash's mouth curled up slightly; finally, an interesting opponent has appeared.

If you won't let me power up, then I'll just go straight ahead.

"Insect Cry!"

"Loud Roar!"

Soon on the field appeared a strange sight,

The two Pokémon didn't attack; instead, they crossed their arms and began shouting at each other from afar, but from the Overbearing Panda's gradually distorted expression and the gesture of covering its ears with its paws,

it was the Feiluomeilang's Insect Cry suppressing the Loud Roar,

at the same time, two blue rings emerged from the Overbearing Panda and the Feiluomeilang respectively.

Loud Roar's effect: after use, 100% lowers the opponent's Sp. Atk!

Insect Cry's effect: 10% chance to lower the opponent's Sp. Def!

Even 10% can trigger? Kekebu'er's mouth twitched.

"They're evenly matched!"

"As expected of grandfather, he easily did what I couldn't."

On the viewing stand,

The crowd, used to Ash crushing opponents in battles, felt a bit unaccustomed to facing an evenly matched situation for the first time.

Clemont sincerely remarked: "Indeed, people grow wiser with age!"

On the field,

Taking advantage of the Insect Cry forcing the Overbearing Panda to cover its ears, Ash unleashed his true killing move!

"True Qi Blast!"

Although Feiluomeilang's Sp. Atk was weakened once, the Overbearing Panda's Sp. Def was also weakened,

roughly speaking, they cancel each other out.

However, True Qi Blast is a Fighting-type heavyweight move with a massive power of 120! A brown energy ball as tall as a person suddenly shot out!

Knowing this strike would land, even if not fatal it would be a serious injury, Keke Bu'er chose to defend.

"Hold firm!"

A hair's breadth from disaster,

A milky-white light shield appeared, taking all the blows for the Overbearing Panda.

"Flamboyant Mantis, True Qi Blast!"

"Rock Seal!"

Holding firm, the True Qi Blast ahead had no effect on the Overbearing Panda's eruption of a Rock Seal!

Boulders the size of doors fell from the sky, forcing the Flamboyant Mantis to abandon its attack while also blocking its view.

The boulders hit the ground with a thunderous roar!

"Bounce!"

The Flamboyant Mantis's body suddenly leapt into the air, moving so fast that nobody could see exactly how it jumped.

The Bounce helped the Flamboyant Mantis evade the Rock Seal while it descended toward the Overbearing Panda below.

"Deceit!"

Keke Bu'er chose to trade injury for injury, but Ash was not worried about it,

Wanting to fight fire with fire?

The idea is good, but the problem is whether the Overbearing Panda's speed can keep up with the Flamboyant Mantis, which is nearly three times as fast.

When the Flamboyant Mantis's jade foot, resembling a high-heeled shoe, stepped on the outside of the Overbearing Panda's paw,

the Overbearing Panda, which is doubly weak to Flying-type moves, immediately showed pain,

at the same time the Overbearing Panda had just drawn a cluster of dark light from the Flamboyant Mantis, preparing to borrow its strength to throw a punch,

the Flamboyant Mantis's legs had already exerted force suddenly, leaping again.

The Overbearing Panda, using the Flamboyant Mantis's attack stats, unleashed a heavy, powerful strike whose force directly threw the Overbearing Panda off balance.

At the same time the punch slammed hard into empty air,

landing on the ground, the usually unshakable packed earth instantly turned as soft as tofu under that blow,

and the Overbearing Panda's entire arm sank into it.

What terrifying power,

Keke Bu'er's face changed in shock,

"Electric Net!"

A golden-yellow thunderbolt net poured down from the sky, covering the Overbearing Panda whose arm was stuck underground.

The violent electric current made the Overbearing Panda's body spasm uncontrollably!

"Butterfly Dance!"

"Has the taunt's duration already expired?"

Keke Bu'er frowned,

If Ash knew, he would certainly answer, yes!

Because until just a second ago,

the negative buff of the Taunt status had just disappeared from the Flamboyant Mantis's panel.

True Read-second Enhancement, not wasting a single moment.

This time the Overbearing Panda could not stop the Flamboyant Mantis's enhancement.

Butterfly Dance ended,

the Flamboyant Mantis gained +1 Special Attack, +1 Special Defense, and +1 Speed.

This time Ash did not rush to have the Flamboyant Mantis use a skill, but instead waited a moment for the Overbearing Panda.

He watched the Overbearing Panda rise, his view unobstructed.

"Taunt!" x2!

Almost simultaneously, Ash and Keke Bu'er issued the same command,

the two old sixes exchanged a glance across the distance and smiled at each other.

Obviously, the Flamboyant Mantis was faster, and as the Overbearing Panda's eyes turned blood-red, the taunting action was interrupted.

"Shadow Clone, Butterfly Dance!"

On the spectator stands, hearing this familiar command pattern, everyone burst out laughing.

"Here it is, Ash's signature Shadow Enhancement tactic!"

Facing a swarm of Flamboyant Mantises, especially those using Butterfly Dance,

Keke Bu'er's only choice could be……

"Loud Roar!"

Through a sound-type skill that affects all targets simultaneously, it can also suppress the output inflation of Butterfly Dance.

Furthermore, with the continuous use of Loud Roar,

even if the Flamboyant Mantis's Special Defense has been boosted by Butterfly Dance, after all many ants can kill an elephant, and besides the Flamboyant Mantis's base Special Defense is only 37.

If this continues, it might actually be the first to collapse.

Witnessing the Flamboyant Mantis's Special Attack -1, Special Defense +6, Speed +6,

"Ultimate speed, that's about enough, let's end it, Flying Knee Kick!"

The words fell,

the Flamboyant Mantis's body instantly became like a beam of light, reaching the Overbearing Panda in an instant.

The knee rose violently, slamming hard into the Overbearing Panda's chin,

Beautiful Mantis~

You're cursing again? I've tolerated your Ultimate Alien Beast Profanity for a long time!

Having been sprayed and still having to dance for the other to see, for the Feiluo Beautiful Mantis, the recent experience was nothing short of torture.

I've been waiting to make a move.

Boom!

With a huge bang, the Domineering Panda's body was directly launched flying, rolling several times before landing.

At the same time, a prompt appeared in Ash's mind.
